Ayushman Bharat Hackathon: 2600+ Entries, Registration Ends Today

The surge in participation for the Ayushman Bharat hackathon reflects India’s growing tech talent pool. National Health Authority reports exceeding 2,600 registrations for the 2026 Auto-Adjudication Hackathon tied to PM-JAY, with the deadline looming today, April 13.

At the heart of this initiative is the quest to supercharge health claim processing. AB PM-JAY manages about 50,000 daily claims under 1,900+ packages, but only 15-20% achieve auto-adjudication. Innovators are challenged to harness AI, anti-fraud tech, uniform documentation, and live verification for robust systems that enhance velocity, reliability, and clarity.

From students to seasoned pros, developers, startups, and researchers can still sign up today via the official site. NHA’s support includes a masterclass series from April 13 onwards—sessions on the 13th, 15th, and 16th, 2-4 PM—covering claim workflows and innovation tactics.

Bengaluru’s Indian Institute of Science hosts the May 8-9 finale, where top teams face a jury of specialists. Victors claim ₹5L, ₹3L, or ₹2L prizes per statement, opening doors to NHA collaborations.

By empowering digital transformation, this event bolsters AB PM-JAY’s infrastructure, promising seamless, fraud-resistant, and beneficiary-centric healthcare evolution.
